SUMMARY:Permission to Pause: The Guilt-Free Guide to Self-Care and Making You a Priority
DESCRIPTION:Public Defense isn’t just a job\, it’s a calling. But constantly showing up for clients\, colleagues\, and the mission can leave you running on empty\, disconnected from your own needs\, and feeling like there’s no end in sight. Now add in family responsibilities\, and it’s a wonder you can breathe. This training recognizes that your well-being is not optional; it’s essential. I know\, I was a Public Defender for 17+ years. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, you’ll discover practical\, realistic ways to carve out time for yourself—even when your schedule never lets up. You’ll learn how to reclaim short pockets of time\, protect them from interruptions\, and use them in ways that actually restore your energy\, focus\, and resilience. The truth is\, you don’t need hours—just 15 minutes a day can make a real difference when you know how to use it well. \n\n\nYou’ll walk away with:\n Clear\, actionable strategies for protecting time for self-care\n Learning to carve out those pockets of time in even the busiest days\n Tools to make your 15-minute resets meaningful and restorative\n The confidence to prioritize yourself all without guilt or hesitation\n\n Practices for treating yourself with self-compassion \n\n\n\nThis training meets you where you are\, in the reality of high stakes\, heavy workloads\, and back-to-back responsibilities. Because you give so much\, it’s time to give some of that care back to yourself. \n\n\nYou matter. Your energy matters. And you are worth the time it takes to care for yourself.\n\nMarie Sennett\, certified yoga teacher and transitional life coach\, works 1:1 with her clients designing a yoga and meditation plan tailored to their needs for a healthy body and mind\, making them absolutely ready to Live their Dream Retirement.\n\nA yoga practitioner since 1997\, Marie struggled as a busy civil rights lawyer and Public Defender for decades to make the time needed to make her body strong and flexible and her mind relaxed and focused so she could be ready to live the dream retirement she always wanted. She became a yoga teacher to assist her clients in making that transformation to their Dream Retirement.
